Successful debut: the BMW M4 GT4 mastered its first race outing in the hands of customers successfully, and proved its reliability in the process. All three BMW M4 GT4s in action made it to the finish line after 24 hours in the desert marathon in Dubai (UAE).

Securtal Sorg Rennsport coped best with the extreme conditions in the Dubai desert and completed a total of 534 laps of the 5.390-kilometre track in the BMW M4 GT4 to finish fifth in the class ranking. Two other BMW M4 GT4s were in action for 3Y Technology.

“The most recent addition to our BMW Motorsport product family was in action for privateer customer teams for the first time – and at this extremely challenging endurance race in the desert,” said BMW Motorsport Director Jens Marquardt.

“We have many months of intensive development and testing behind us. I am delighted to see the BMW M4 GT4 in action for customers. During the course of the season it will prove itself in countless races across the globe.

A total of ten BMW cars were on the entry list in Dubai. It was an enjoyable start to the 2018 customer racing season.”
